The owner of the building that’s engulfed in flames sees a familiar spark in the feisty fire fighter that he can’t ignore.

Should they ignite the fire between them again while trying to stop the arsonist from burning down everyone and everything they hold dear?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

Lourdes “Styx” Boyd is a firefighter and a woman that is independent, scarred, and non-committal. When her crew is called to a fire at a prominent location in town, she finds herself in a more dangerous situation than just fighting the fire. There’s someone in the shadows waiting for her and her crew.

Jeremiah Zeon is a rich man that has multiple locations and buildings. When he opens a building in a remote town he doesn’t expect the past problems to follow him, but when his building is the center of a fire and more, he believes that the past has found him and is threatening him again, only this time there is more at stake and in danger.

One night wasn’t enough for Jeremiah with Lourdes, but he messed up when he let her walk out his door. Now they are thrown back into a situation that could help him express how he feels and what he wants from her, but there is a lot to get through before they can find their HEA.

I enjoyed this story and I’m looking forward to reading more of D.M. Earl’s books in the Police and Fire: Operation Alpha books. I love her writing and how she brings other characters and situations from her Devil’s Handmaiden’s and other books into this world. She never ceases to amaze me with her writing and characters.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

I loved this story of two people who’ve known each other forever finding out they have feelings other than friendship, and brother’s best friend.

Marco has been around the Westwood family forever and feels as though they are a second family to him. When he finds Ivy in a disheveled state and scared he instantly steps in to take care of her and comfort her.

Ivy has been looking for ways to meet her “person”, but hasn’t had any luck in the situation. When she finds herself in a situation that leaves her scared and hurt, she escapes to the one place she feels safe, her families hotel. Only she gets a surprise when Marco shows up to do some work in the room she’s escaped to. This leads to Marco helping her through the night and making her feel safer.

I love the Westwoods and Lonely Heart was a great story in the series. These characters have made a way into my book world and I’ve enjoyed reading all of the books so far. I look forward to more to come.

Sloane

At nineteen years old, I should be attending college and living my best life. Instead, I am stressing about overdue bills and keeping a roof over my brother’s head.

That’s when I meet the Saint’s Outlaws MC.

They own the only shop in town willing to give a woman like me a shot at being a mechanic. They are my last hope.

If only the VP wasn’t a grumpy guy who likes to make my life difficult.

He annoys me as much as he sets my soul on fire.

When secrets I didn’t even know I had come to light, I have to rely on the man who has quickly become both my savior and damnation.

Gunner

Being the VP of the Saint’s Outlaws MC is second nature to me. I’ve been taking care of my best friend and President, Smoke, since we were children so moving to Pensacola to start our own chapter was nothing new.

Not until I met her.

Sloane is everything a woman shouldn’t be. She’s sexy, charming, and knows her way under a hood better than any of the brother’s on staff.

She’s off limits though, to me and them.

Until danger comes lurking and the only way to keep her safe is to keep her by my side.

Will I survive the snarky woman with a mission or am I doomed to go down with her?

My Review: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 5 out of 5

I loved this first look into the SOMC Pensacola Chapter by Cala Riley. A great start to what looks to be a great world and a great chapter of the SOMC.

Gunner’s not a man that trusts women easily, or really at all. When he meets the new mechanic that was hired by Smoke, his grumpy, miserable demeanor comes out and the new mechanic is not impressed.

Sloane is young, independent, and fighting to keep her mom, brother, and herself above water and a roof over their heads. Being so young and a woman at that, she has to overcome barriers in a male dominant field to get hired as a mechanic. She has two strikes against her right off, she’s a female and young, most employers that run garages won’t see that she has the skills needed or the maturity to do the job. However, Smoke takes a chance on her and then her life takes some twists that feel out of control. Now all she can do is hold on for the ride.

NOW LIVE! Stay Toxic by Lani Lynn Vale is available now! A 5⭐ Read in my opinion!



Title: Stay Toxic
Series: Semyonov Bratva #1
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Mafia Romance
Tropes: Forced Proximity/Antihero
Release Date: January 7, 2025


BLURB

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.

The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.

First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.

He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.

They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.

My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.

Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.

Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.

The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.

There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.

Right?

Wrong.

I’d definitely been noticed.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5

He’s not in the market for an HEA, but fate has other ideas for Shasha Semyonov. One look and he can’t seem to pass up on the beauty he sees in the coffee shop.

Brecken is the laughing stock of the city. Her ex’s exploits caught on camera and seen by so many people was unavoidable. Now she has to tell her brothers what happened and convince them not to take matters into their own hands.

I loved Shasha’s book and I love Shasha and Brecken. LLV has a wonderful way with interconnecting her books from series to series and they are always great reads. I love her characters as well as the stories, and you usually find shenanigans throughout the books. I love the quotes/thoughts/texts at the start of each chapter and I am always up for one-clicking LLV’s books when she has a new out. Stay Toxic was a great start to a new series and a wonderful continuation with past characters. LLV has a way of working her characters into a new series with just enough to update you on the character and show the interactions between the series. I love her writing and can’t wait for the next book in the Semyonov Bratva to come out. I devoured this book in one day.

There’s a fine line between good and evil. It doesn’t matter if you see it or not. It’s easy enough to fall off the edge and not find your way back.

Griz

I’m not a man who you lie to and get away with it. There are no second chances. No way will I allow it in my life. This life I live it’s a balance to keep myself and my brothers from getting caught. It’s my job to watch their backs. I nearly failed once. I won’t do it again.

Not even when she steps in my life. I’ve been burned once by a woman and won’t let that happen again. No matter how much I want her. She’s too good to be a part of this life. I won’t let her walk to line with me. Not for any reason.

If that means walking away, I’ll fall over the edge to keep her safe.

Kenneth “Mensa” Ragstone has street-smarts in spades. As a member of the Riot MC, he’s survived by trusting his gut—and it’s screaming that Whitney Blume spells trouble. From the moment their paths cross, she sets him on edge. The more determined he is to avoid her, the more he runs into her. That’s a red flag Mensa won’t ignore. His Riot MC brothers say he’s overreacting—she’s just a new woman in town. But Mensa earned his road name by trusting his intuition.
She’s everything he doesn’t want in a woman. So why can’t he stop thinking about her?

Whitney Blume isn’t looking for trouble—or bikers. She has a type good guys, clean-cut, funny, and friendly. Everything Mensa isn’t. After a career-ending betrayal, the former FBI agent is keeping a low profile and reconsidering her life. But staying out of trouble proves difficult when her sassy attitude and undeniable attraction to Mensa pull her closer to the world of Riot MC.

After an ambush at the Twisted Talons bar turns deadly, Mensa and Whitney barely escape. With the vice president of a rival MC hunting them, they take refuge in a roadside hotel. One room. One bed. And a lot of unresolved tension. Giving in is inevitable, but their one night of passion sparks something deeper—and deadlier.

They return only to find the rival MC is targeting Whitney, and Mensa will stop at nothing to protect her. When his woman is abducted, Mensa does whatever it takes to get her back, but will it be enough?

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

The cameras are back in action, but the Iron Fiends aren’t so sure they’re ready to continue filming. They are trying to find more ways to distract the camera crew and when the new crew shows up there are pasts that will be front and center.

A new couple being created but for the cameras or is it? Compass and Fallon are pushed together more than just him being her sitter to keep an eye on her. Now their lives will be intertwined more.

I’m enjoying reading the Iron Fiends MC series and the more that come out, the more entertaining they are. I love the characters and the storylines bring more drama, entertainment, and danger with each new book. I’m excited for more of the Iron Fiends to come.

My Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

I loved this story. The characters were great and the story had some interesting twists and turns along the way.

This was my first read of this series, but it was easy to follow along with the story. I now need to go back and purchase the first stories in the series and read them. I loved the interaction between the characters. There were some parts that were tragic and sad. The twists were interesting and the book was hard to put down. I’m looking forward to reading more of the characters in the series and reading the series from the beginning.

The books are listed as standalone and can be read as such, but the characters and their stories are so interesting that I need to read the books that came before Misguided Vows.

Title: A Crossroads Christmas
Series: Holiday RBMC Tonopah, NV
Author: Nikki Landis
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: December 27, 2024


It’s the holidays at The Crossroads, and every member is eager to focus on the season.
The club is growing members, ol’ ladies, and babies, which means you can find toys, bottles, pool sticks, and whisky all in the same vicinity.
But the focus remains the same: brotherhood, loyalty, and family.
It’s a time to exchange gifts and forgive sins, even if it’s Rael causing trouble.
The clubhouse is full to bursting, decorated with holiday cheer, and ready to party.
And that’s just when a little chaos gets thrown into the mix.
Come join the Reapers in Tonopah for a magical, unpredictable season to remember.
The eggnog is cold, the tree trimmed, and the holiday spirit is in full swing.
Step under the mistletoe, grab a hot cocoa and catch up with your favorite Tonopah couples.
There’s nothing like coming home for Christmas.

A Crossroads Christmas features multiple POVs from series favorites, including Rael, Mammoth, Bodie, Papa, Shadow, and the club kids. The book includes steamy scenes, biker slang, a little violence (blame Rael, everyone does), a holiday to remember, an unexpected surprise, and a paranormal REAPER twist. The series is best enjoyed when read in order. It’s highly recommended that Devil’s Ride, Ridin’ for Hell, Papa Noel, and Infinitely Mine are read before A Crossroads Christmas.

I loved this book! It was multiple POV’s with a catch up on the characters in the Tonopah, NV Chapter and it was great!

Real is always looking to cause trouble and he always seems to find it too. The kids are growing and showing their personalities, along with their parents, and the Crossroads is thriving. I love catching up with these characters and this book was a great way of doing it during the holidays.

I am looking forward to more books in the RBMC Tonopah, Las Vegas, and other chapters, as well as more books by Nikki Landis in her continuing series with her awesome characters.
